invapysäköinnin

Invapysäköinti, also known as accessible parking, refers to parking spaces specifically designated for individuals with disabilities. These spaces are typically wider than standard parking spots to accommodate mobility devices such as wheelchairs and to allow for the safe transfer of a person from a vehicle. They are strategically located to provide the shortest accessible route to building entrances.

In most countries, the use of invapysäköinti spaces is regulated by law and requires a special permit or sticker, often displayed on the vehicle's windshield. This permit is usually issued to individuals who meet specific criteria related to their mobility impairment. Unauthorized use of these parking spaces is generally prohibited and can result in fines or other penalties.

The design of invapysäköinti spaces often includes features like an access aisle, which is a clear space next to the parking bay that allows for the deployment of wheelchair ramps or lifts. Signage for these spaces is usually standardized, often featuring the International Symbol of Access (ISA), a blue square with a white stylized image of a person in a wheelchair. The availability and specific regulations for invapysäköinti can vary by municipality and country, but the underlying principle remains to ensure equitable access and mobility for people with disabilities.
